Hi, I am looking for any suggestions for middle names for a little one called Freya. I would also love to know what spelling people prefer of the first name, do you prefer Freja or Freya?
All thoughts welcome :)

That's interesting to here, I live in Scotland and although the y spelling is more common both are recognised and pronounceable

O think in the UK Freya is better as there won't be so many questions on pronunciation.

Freya Marie?
DH suggested Freya Bruinhilda (he weird)
Freya Louise?
Freya May?

Freya if you don't live in a Scandinavian country.

My DH is Norwegian and we considered Freya, but even we would've spelt it Freya because we don't live in Scandinavia and no one here would've spelt or pronounced Freja/Freyja correctly.
